Ukraine rescues soldier via drone delivery of complete e-bike
Briefly

In contemporary warfare, both sides have adopted e-bikes and motorcycles for fast infantry maneuvers as traditional armored vehicles have become less effective due to drone warfare. A soldier named Tankist found himself isolated in a frontline position after an attack. To rescue him, brigade staff attempted to use heavy bomber drones for e-bike delivery. Although initial attempts failed, the third was successful, allowing Tankist to escape, despite encountering a landmine. E-commerce companies like Amazon are developing drone delivery but for much lighter packages.
Both sides are now making widespread use of e-bikes and motorcycles for quick infantry assaults after three years of drone warfare have wiped out many of the traditional armored vehicles.
Tankist found himself cut off from safety and had to hold the position alone for several days.
Brigade staff devised a plan to deliver an e-bike via heavy bomber drone. The first drone was shot down, while the second failed under the weight.
He apparently hit a landmine on the way and survived that, too, finishing the trip on a second delivered e-bike.
